Kiss Hot In The Shade

I understand that you probably did well in Italian in high school, but that doesn’t mean you should compare the music of the album with the most pointless cover in the history of rock to Petrarch’s "Amore." We really don’t have the authority to put you in a higher register.

Vasco Rossi Basta Poco

What a damn song, what a bullshit operation. The reviewer's observations are spot on, I heard the song on the radio today and the production is really poor, very low budget. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that they didn't even have a real drummer play... sure, it's really too easy to make money with music like this...

Black Sabbath Never Say Die

Well, if we give 5 to Never Say Die, what do we give the first 5? 15?! In my opinion, starting from Sabotage, Black Sabbath have not so much opened up musical horizons as they have drastically closed them: adherence to the clichés of the hard rock of the time, fluff riffs and solos, intrusions into radio rock hit platters, not to mention a production level and sound that drops dramatically and inexplicably when you think that the debut was recorded in two days and still sounds incredible today. I don't remember the individual tracks from this work precisely, but I do remember my state of mind when I heard it: DISAPPOINTMENT, although at least Ozzy is still here...

Iron Maiden The Essential

I don’t consider Petrucci a guitar hero either; in fact, I’ve had the chance to mock his artificial and schoolboy sound in more than one review. DT are often praised, especially by listeners who play (generally for a short time) and think that whoever is the fastest, most precise, and technically complicated is the best. However, even though DT— as I mentioned—are often celebrated by gearheads for their technical skills, it must be acknowledged that they have also written some amazing songs. I don’t mind Sonata either, by the way.

But quit it, Bonny, I also prefer Malmsteen to Petrucci, but saying that DT don't make good songs and that Sonata Arctica do better is really foolish... Anyway, I understand that your comment stemmed from an even more foolish one, namely that of Johnp1983, so you’re partially justified.

Look, there was no irony or double meaning in my comment, and I'm actually glad you like power metal. I understand that you feel a bit targeted on this site, but don't call me a fake since there’s really not a damn thing fake in the mix.

DaveJon, do you like Symphony X?! I wasn't expecting that. I've never been a huge fan of this band; I've listened to them often, but they've never truly captured me. While I acknowledge their technical and compositional qualities, I believe they're missing that certain something in songwriting that makes the melodies of the songs feel timeless and invigorating. Technically, they’re quite impeccable, but I find the sound of their productions excessively polished, not powerful enough, and lacking in dynamics.

MetaliuM Millennium Metal: Chapter One

I have vague and cloudy memories of these Metalium, like someone made me listen to them and I was like, "What is this crazy trash?!" Do you think I remember correctly? Who knows.

You're right, but it's not an obligation to stay "on top of the wave" and become like Oasis. It's a choice left to the will of the artist and their sensitivity to decide whether to "sell out" or continue on their own path. We can't lament if record labels don't invest in projects they don't consider profitable, because they are simply doing their job! Ultimately, it's clear that the market logic doesn't fully accommodate the artistic needs of musicians (and I don't think it ever has), but musicians are still free to not "comply" with such logic, choosing (as many do) other distribution channels.

In fact, Jim, your argument is valid - though I don’t entirely agree with it - and it can also be shared. I just want to emphasize, to conclude, that I know as well as you do that pop projects are “planned out” or that there are software programs that allow you to produce music without being a musician; however, I still believe that even in the jumble of these mechanized and industrial projects, there can sometimes emerge very interesting proposals. Anyway, the crux of my intervention has already been clarified, and I hope you understand that I didn’t want to make an unconditional apology for MTV or "commercial" music. Best regards and kisses.
